Sayyiduna Anas ibne-Malik (RadhiAllaho anho) narrates

that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:


He who says (the following words)

at the time of going out of his house,


Bismillah, tawakkaltu ala allah,

la hawla wa la quwwata illa bil-lah


[ In the name of Allah, in Allah I vest my trust,

there is no might to resist evil or to do good except through Allah.]


It is said to him (by the angels):

Your needs are sufficed for (the day),

and you are protected.

And Shaitan goes away from him.
